APPAREL-COLLAR.

SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,184, dated January 27, 1885.

Application med November so, iesa (Model.)

.To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. GALLUP, collar manufacturer, of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Apparel-Collars, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to apparel-collars, and more particularly to certain improvements upon the invention described in an application for apatent filed by me in the United States Patent Office on the 11th day of November, 1882, and having for its purpose the same object,the difference between the invention described in said former application and that hereinafter to be described being in the manner of accomplishing the same result, and relating to a methodoi' forming in the body of the collar proper, above the band and independently of the latter, a curved fold-line as a guide over and along which the collar may be turned down to wear.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, there are four figures illustrating my invention, and in all of which the same designation of parts by letterreference is used.

Figure 1 shows a plan view of the collar containing my improvement; Fig. 2, a crossvertical section ot' the collar shown at Fig. l, taken on the line a," m' ofthat figure. Fig. 3 shows a plan view of a collarV containing a modiiication of my invention. Fig. 4 illustrates a cross section, taken on the line x2 so? of Fig. 3, with the thickness of the parts exaggerated, as they are also shown at Fig. 2, to better indicate their position.

The several parts of which the collar is made are designated by letter-reference, as follows:

B indicates the usual band, and C the collar proper; F F F3 F, the exterior facings of the collar; I), the ply; c e', the inner lapping edges of the ply, cut to correspond with the foldline D; and c2 e, the inner edges of the facing, also cut to correspond with the curved line D.

The letter S'l indicates aline of stitching connecting the lapping edges e2 e2 of the facing F3 F3, one of which is turned in and fold-A ed down on the other; and S, a line of stitching through the body of the collar proper, uniting the lapping edges of the ply I), (indicated at e e,) so that in either instance the curved fold-line D is produced in the body of the collar proper by lapping edges of material, which are out with a coincident curve that extends from the band of the collar at each end up into the body of the collar proper, thus thickening upthe collar on the line of such curve to produce the fold -line D, along which as a guide the collar may be turned over and down.

In my former application before alluded to the fold-line is shown as produced by cutting and placing the inner curved edge of the ply on the curved fold-line, with the ply extending upwardly from the band to that point, or downwardly from the collar top to the curved fold-line, and, although a corresponding foldline is produced, yet it is done by a different method.

I am well aware that a fold line has beenV produced along the top or" the collar-band by thickening up the material at that point, and that my invention is limited to the application of a fold-line made, as shown, in the body of the collar proper above the band.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-ent, 1s-

l. The improved collar herein described, composed of counterpart plies, an upper supplemental ply of less width than the collar, and having its outer edges counterpart with the shape of the collar, and its lower edge curved from its ends upward, and a lower supplemental ply of less width than the collar, having its upper edge cut in alignment with and lapping the under edge of the upper sup` plcmental ply, said parts being secured together by a linel of stitches about the edges of the collar, and by a line of stitches on a fold-line through the lapped edges of the supplemental plies, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The improved collar, composed of counterpart plies, an upper supplemental ply of less width than the eollar, interposed between edges of the Collar7 and by a line of stitches the counterpart plies, having its outer edges on a fold-line through the lapped edges of the eut to the shape of the collar and its under supplemental plies, substantially as and for edge curved from its ends upward, and a lowthe purpose set forth.

5 er supplemental ply of less width than the Signed at Troy7 New York7 this 16th day of 15 collar interposed between the counterpart November, 1882. plies, having its upper edge curved in alignment with and lapping the lower edge of the \Vitnesses:
